Hello everyone! Yep, it’s time for How-Tuesday again – and this time I’ll show you a {sort-of} tutorial on how I made these darling favor bags for Emma Grace’s pink princess party {I’ve got a few more posts about her party planned – it was so sweet!}. Ready?

I had seen {these and these} sweet treat bags on Pinterest and knew that they’d be perfect for sending the favors home with Em’s guests. {the favors were these molasses crinkle cookies – Emma Grace frosted them herself :)}

 to start with I used a pair of scallop scissors to even off and pretty up the ends of some brown sandwich bags.

then I used my multi-stamp that I use for all the hand-stamped things in the shop and some pink ink to stamp some 4-inch doilies with “thank you for coming!”

next, I used a glue stick on the edges of the doilies and sprinkled them with some bright pink glitter {so girly and princessey!}

the last step was to pop the cookies into the bags, layer the doilies on them, fold over the tops and secure with a staple {I was hoping to punch holes and tie them with pink twine, but I was running behind … my sister-in-law ended up doing this step for me. Thanks so much Sarah!}.

There you have it! Some sweet, simple, glittery and pink favor bags for a pink loving princesses birthday party :)

I’m really looking forward to showing you the rest of the details from her party! <3
